Chelsea is the most likeable club Bayern Munich’s Jerome Boateng can opt to join

In the game of football, Bayern Munich’s current defender, Jerome Boateng has won it all. You mention any title and he has won it. Except this, he has also played a vital role for his team in making them the winner of such big trophies. It surprises that as a youngster he failed to stabilize himself at Manchester City. 

Even, he was very a solid player for Bavarians in their treble win. In 2011, the German joined Bayern Munich. Since then he has won, two Champions League, eight Bundesliga titles and five German cups as well. Also, in 2014, Boateng won the World Cup in Brazil. 

It seems there is a probability that Boateng will leave the Allianz Arena next summer. He is already 32 years old and Bayern Munich already has Nikolas Sule and Lucas Hernandez waiting in wings. So, there are very fewer chances of renewal of the contract for the German at Bayern Munich. 

At a time, he was declared one of the best centre-backs in the world of football. However, he has deteriorated in past few years. Even, he has tried very hard to get back to his best and no curiosity, this year treble has won by Bayern.

It seems that The former Hertha Berlin defender’s time at the club is about to end. Now, as 32 years old he will strive to set for a phase in his long and glorious career. There is the probability that there can be a card of Premier League as well. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham seem to be interested in the versatile defender.

The German is highly experienced and all three clubs are in a stage of evolution. So, they can use their talent and experience for short-term gain. These clubs can guarantee him to win trophies but Boateng is not in hurry to win major silverware. 

Allowing Boateng to play in the Premier League would be very significant. In Europe’s most elite competition the German would want to continue to play the remaining years of his career. Out of the three clubs that are mentioned above, at this phase, it is very difficult to say who is going to finish in the top four. 

It is also should be noted that the current project at these clubs is very exciting. Arsenal seems to be on the right path along with Mikel Arteta. Chelsea is also expressing the signs of an incredibly promising team under Frank Lampard. While a cultural change of winning at Spurs is bringing by Jose Mourinho. 

The defence of Arsenal has been very leaky in the past few years. Arteta wanted to fix that as they signed Gabriel Magalhaes and he looks like a solid recruiter. However, there is a decent partner needed for him. Presently, they are not having a centre-back with whom Gabriel can form a fairest and long-term partnership.

Under Frank Lampard, Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva are showing a resurgence. The veteran Brazilian is showing enough experience and influencing others and an added experience in terms of Boateng will further enhance everyone. However, it is seeming that Lampard does not have so much faith in Rudiger and Tomori while it is also clear that Christensen is not a starter. Lampard will have to need more competition and cover for Zouma and Silva so signing Boateng can be necessary. An additional experience in the backline will make Chelsea’s defence more solid. 

A new era under Jose Mourinho is getting used by Tottenham Hotspur. The serial winner Portuguese coach has won all just like the defender and wants to convey this mentality to Spurs as well. Joining Spurs and Mourinho there will be a perfect match for each other. The German can express to young defenders at Tottenham about what it actually takes to be the best. 

However, it is clearly seeming that all three Chelsea have a slight advantage over the two. If we compare Blues with London rivals then we can see Blues are financially powerful. The more wages can be offered by Chelsea to tempt him to sign for Stamford Bridge. Now, it remains to see Boateng in Blue jersey under Frank Lampard or not.
